No, zombies are not real today, based on our current understanding of human biology.
Why Zombies Aren't Real
While zombie concepts are popular in movies and TV shows, such as The Walking Dead and Train to Busan, which depict infectious diseases causing zombie-like behavior, these scenarios are fictional. Here's why:
- Biological Impossibility: According to our current understanding of human biology, the kind of reanimation and mind control seen in zombie portrayals are simply not possible. The human body cannot be reanimated after death in the manner depicted in these fictional scenarios.
- Infectious Disease Manipulation: While infectious diseases can cause significant changes in the human body, they cannot create the type of complete neurological control or reanimation required for a "zombie."
What About Fictional Depictions?
While the concept of zombies is highly entertaining, it's important to remember they are:
- Fictional Constructs: Zombies are primarily found in fictional narratives as a means to explore themes of fear, social collapse, and infectious disease.
- Not Based on Scientific Evidence: These fictional portrayals are not based on real-world scientific possibilities.
Summary
In short, while the entertainment industry provides intriguing scenarios surrounding zombies, the reality is that zombies are not a threat.
| Concept | Reality |
|---|---|
| Zombie Outbreak | Fictional, not supported by biology |
| Reanimation | Biologically Impossible |
| Mind Control | No real-world diseases cause complete mind control |
